You are most cordially invited to this special and historically significant Jubilee Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary, almost to the day, of the first of these biennial Texas Symposia held in Dallas in December 1963.

The registration and abstract submission are now open and available at:

The format of our meeting will be what it has always been: 20 or more plenary talks and room for up to 350 contributed talks, plus posters, essentially on all matters of current and traditional interest. Naturally there will also be a small but not preponderant historical component, as befits the occasion.

The venue of the Symposium is the Fairmont Hotel in the heart of downtown Dallas. It has several restaurants and a Starbucks Café and is known for its quiet comfort and elegance, plus its great location in the Arts District. It is within walking distance to the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science and all the other museums, the Symphony, the Opera, the Wyly Theatre, and the West End Historical District. The nearby lively Uptown with its shops and restaurants can be quickly reached via the complimentary McKinney Ave Trolley.
